Pairs of opposites – where do we fit, on a scale from one to nine?
Jung claimed that he’d rather be whole than good. Would that be as five on the scale?
Do we slide up and down on the scale of good to bad, or on any other so-called pair of opposites, such as happy/sad, excited/depressed, loving/unloving, wise/foolish, etc. or on our preferences for company or solitude?
Do we each have our own comfort zone on the scale, at different times and in different situations and/or relationships?
Would it be psychologically unhealthy to not be flexible with our thoughts and/or emotions, at least to some degree?
Something to think about, eh?

A Journal of a journey, with Spirit as my guide, using
the wisdom of I Ching, an ancient explanation of change as a necessary part of life, to understand Life, and where, how, and why my life has developed as it has, and where do I go from here, and how, and why.
My mission, purpose, or desire is to share my struggle toward and passion for enlightenment, without having a clear idea of what it will look like when I find it, and I intend to find it, sooner or later.
Meanwhile I seem to be struggling toward enlightenment without a clear road map, unless Spirit, my constant companion (did He invite himself along, for laughs, perhaps?) is hiding it from me, for whatever reason.
Vancouver, BC Canada is the only place I care to live, in this world. Perhaps it's not entirely by choice. My name is carved into a nearby sidewalk, as if to remind me where I belong. I am blessed to have Spirit as a teacher. Just ask him.
